Richard James Lamb (born September 20, 1990) is an American professional golfer.
Lamb was born and raised in South Bend, Indiana. He played college golf at the University of Tennessee after transferring from Santa Clara University. At Tennessee, he won three events.[1] In his final collegiate event, Lamb finished T-2 at the 2013 NCAA Division I Championship.
Lamb earned limited status on the 2016 Web.com Tour after a tie for 79th at qualifying school in December 2015, but had to rely on sponsor exemptions and Monday qualifying to get into tournaments. In July 2016, he won the LECOM Health Challenge, becoming the first Monday qualifier to win on the Web.com Tour since Sebastian Cappelen at the 2014 Air Capital Classic.[2]
Lamb grew up playing both golf and hockey at a high level, later choosing to attend IMG Academies in Bradenton, Florida to pursue golf.[3] Lamb's identical twin brother Scott currently plays on PGA Tour Latinoamérica.[4]
